Ginger-Peppermint Tea

With a recorded history in China dating from the 4th century 
B.C., Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has been used extensively 
throughout the centuries for both culinary and health purposes. 
The name Ginger is derived from the Sanskrit "gringa" or horn 
and "vera" meaning body, in reference to the shape of the root. 
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is a universally-loved and 
widely-used flavoring.

Health interest in mints dates from 
the first century A.D. when it was recorded by the Roman 
naturalist Pliny. Peppermint's value comes from the mint's 
volatile oil, which contains menthol, and is added to many 
formulas for its beneficial properties. Combined, Ginger and 
Peppermint make a refreshing tea.
